National Campaign Services Director

About the Working Families Party

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.  

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

The National Campaign Services Director is responsible for leading the campaign services program to support Working Families Party endorsed candidates across all regions. The campaign services program vends a variety of organizing, digital, and other services to endorsed WFP candidates and wraparound support to make sure campaigns are equipped to run successful campaigns.  The program supports change-making candidates and their teams by stacking campaigns with the digital, organizing, fundraising and data tools (and the training, advice and support) they need to win. The Campaign Services Director will oversee the program and direction of campaign services programs nationally.
